Episodes
Faking Movies – Ep 43. MonkeyBone
April 09, 2018 14:00 - 52 minutes - 42.6 MBZak tackles MonkeyBone. In the conclusion to our animal trilogy, we explore both treasure hunting and cartoonist nightmare fugue states. Brenden Fraser is an absolute angel, but man, the rest of this movie is a disaster. Practical effects abound, and we grapple with tedious terminal diseases. It's a real rollercoaster this week, folks.
Faking Movies – Ep 42.5. Tater Salad meets unnamed University
April 05, 2018 14:00 - 7 minutes - 5.44 MBSeth's a friendly guy, I think we all know that -- but, sometimes (a lot of times?) he befriends celebrities. In this mini-sode, Seth meets blue collar hero Ron White.
Faking Movies – Ep 42. They Shoot Horses, Don't They
April 02, 2018 14:00 - 55 minutes - 45.1 MBLee tackles They Shoot Horses, Don't They. This week we introduce the Sadness-Meter™, but then we done broke it immediately because this movie went off the CHARTS for sads. Lee writes for one our favorite directors; we both walk and talk, and then we do some dancing... but the sadness is insurmountable. Tune in for the second installment of our animal trilogy and, of course, some sadness.
Faking Movies – Ep 41. Buffalo 66
March 26, 2018 14:00 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBSeth tackles Buffalo 66. "Vincent Gallo"... those are the only two words this episode needs as a description. If you know... then you KNOW. If not, then may we all apologize ahead of time. Also, if anybody knows where we can fence some turquoise, that'd be very helpful... email us.
Faking Movies – Ep 40. Every/Any Which Way but Loose
March 19, 2018 14:00 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBLucas tackles Every/Any Which Way but Loose. We could start at "what IS the title of this movie", but why even bother... this nightmare is going to keep us all up at night for decades to come. Lucas gets weirdly close, while artfully avoiding all the incredible horrors that befall this monkey/ape-centric piece of garbage in the annals of cinema. If you like street fights and small town America and banana peel prat-falls, stay tuned.

March 15, 2018 14:00 - 4 minutes - 3.29 MBAll the boys and friend-of-the-podcast Lucas tackle regional wrestling heroes the Von Erich's and sadness in general. Stay tuned for next week, where we all tackle the insanity that is "apes/monkeys and street fighting"
Faking Movies – Ep 39. Death Becomes Her
March 12, 2018 14:00 - 1 hour - 48.1 MBZak tackles Death Becomes Her. Is it Hudson Hawk? thank god, no. Is it Jurassic Park? sadly, also no. Is it a movie Zak shamelessly ripped off? definitively not. But yet, here we are. Female leads abound, but sadly do not shine; Bruno Willis still has a terrible hair line and no one likes him. It's business as usual this week -- stay posted.
